Awesome truck. Few questions. Does it have to add a leaf? What did you use to correct speedo? Any rubbing, and what gear ratio do you have, how does it drive. Thanks!

First, thank you. I did not get the add a leaf because I didn't want the truck to ride rougher than stock and I don't tow anything other than a 12' enclosed motorcycle trailer. I still haven't corrected my speedometer cause I had to take a little trip for several months, but when I was home the speedometer was only off about 5MPH at 75 MPH so I just drove accordingly. When I get back home I plan to get the Intune i2 to fix it. The truck has the 5.3L with 3:42 rear end, and drives the same as it did when I drove it home from the lot (to me anyways). I'm sure with the larger diameter tires I have lost a little rear wheel HP but my butt-dyno can't tell. If in a frisky mood she'll still light up the tires if that's what your asking.

Thanks for the response! I think I'm gonna go with 35 inch trail grapplers. I have a 16 all Terrain with the 6.2 and 3.23. Should be fine I would think

Positive that will be fine, you'll never notice a difference.

Could you add some pics of the tires so I can see how they look? Might go with these I like the reviews. Im pretty sure I'm gonna go with a zone 6.5

Well I would be happy to except I'm not in the same country as my truck. I won't be back in the states for a bit longer. I think I have a pic of them before I had them mounted. I rolled one up next to the stock tire to see the difference. I will look and see if I still have it, if so I'll post it.

That's all I have. If I was home I would snap a pic of what ever you like.

Truck looks awesome!

Bad ass truck

Thank you, my goal was to keep it as simple as possible while still making it the capable truck that I wanted. There is still one or two things I would like to do but for the most part I think I'm just about complete.

Finally picked up a Bakflip G2 cover for the truck. Pretty happy with the fit and function.

Throw an exhaust on that bad boy so the sound matches the appearance :smoker:

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
